Reducing non-stationary temperature effects in electrochemical gas sensors, useful for miniaturized carbon monoxide or dioxide sensors, by applying a temperature-dependent potential to the sensor

摘要

Method for reducing non-stationary temperature effects in electrochemical gas sensors that include a potentiostat comprises applying a potential (U) (a) between reference and measuring electrodes, in a 3-electrode sensor, or between counter and measuring electrodes, in a 2-electrode sensor, and varying this potential depending on the changes in environmental temperature.
